About the First Annual US International Chocolate Competition

We’ve enjoyed getting to know chocolate retailers, chocolate makers, chocolatiers, and pastry chefs since the Chocolate Professor launched over a year ago. Meeting with those in the industry has helped us to learn more about the fascinating world of chocolate and the unique challenges that chocolate presents in the marketplace. Since day one we have looked forward to launching the best possible chocolate competition, judged only by chocolate buyers. “Letting the trade decide” is how we have been successful with spirits, wine, and beer competitions all around the world and we believe it will bring incredible value to chocolate as well.

We are excited to be holding the US International Chocolate Competition starting September 14th 2023. We have gathered a great amount of real trade buyers who buy chocolate for their business to be our judges. The judges will be judging the samples as if buying if for their own business.

Thank you for allowing us to enter this great industry and we look forward to showcasing the top winners with our sister sites the Alcohol Professor and Cheese Professor along with our beer, wine and spirits winners from the International Beverage Competitions Group.
